6 thoughts on “how solitary”

We were in Arizona in December of last year. One canyon area with a man made lake within up-heaved volcanic rock was a forest of cacti. That’s what your photos reminded me of. We actually spotted a bald eagle as well as some wild goats.

Oh what a treat! we camp a lot and one gets these wonderful experiences of animals when one spends time in their environments. Didn’t see many animals this trip though. These grass trees are very slow growing so this one must be very old.

I camped when I was younger. I am lucky to live by a creek…we get some interesting critters back there…
deer, ducks, geese, a migratory heron, turtles, frogs, and last fall I found an otter!

Some of the cacti were hundreds of years old. The guide told us that the on cacti group had to be at least 50 years old before getting it’s first arm and we saw some with huge arms – over a dozen of them.

Fabulous poem and pictures. Your take me right there and show me what you see and how you feel about it. What a gift you have. I recently followed and am scrolling back through your blog. This one is well worth the scroll.
